“ I first attended BIG SOUND in 2006 and again this year. On Both occasions I was impressed by the International potential, quality, and diversity of the live performances and by the interesting, and often compelling panels and speakers.
BIG SOUND has grown considerably over the past two years. Queensland is now set to become the major portal for newly emerging global music markets.
Sire band The Veronicas, who hail from Brisbane, are starting to break big in the U.S. which will make my stay in Brisbane even more exciting and productive.” – Seymour Stein (Sire Records)

BIG SOUND 2010 will be held from the 8th to 10th of September 2010 in Australia's only live music precinct Fortitude Valley Brisbane.

Rising from the ashes of two Gold Coast bands (Cardiff Giant and The Delta Riggs), ELKE found their feet and a feel for their own intricate sound-niche in early 2008. The first show ELKE played was as a local finalist in MTV’s ‘Kickstart’ competition; and have since shared the stage with Datarock (Norway), Art vs Science, Ratatat (USA), Grafton Primary, Lost Valentinos and played the mainstage at Good Vibrations alongside The Presets, Fatboy Slim, Chromeo & Sam Sparro. Currently the band is in the process of writing and recording more tracks, working towards an album.
